Gee, it's almost like they're aware things are fucked up and are preparing for the worst.
Rather than using some of their massive wealth to help fund social change, they'd rather keep exploiting the rest of us and "Castle Up" for when we eventually get sick of their bullshit.

I've had the chance to get to know the security of some ultra-wealthy people and one thing that's very interesting is just how varied it can be. The pattern I've noticed is that the level of security seems less correlated with wealth, and more correlated with how much of their life is wrapped up in their business. For many of these people, their homes/lives are a business, and security equipment and staff are just a part of the operation like you'd have at an office building.
There's also a split between those who want their security approach to be intimidating and restrictive vs those who treat it more as an obligation. Whenever I hear about bad interactions with the wealthy due to their security, it seems like such an obvious own-goal; pissing off the people you interact with not only earns you a terrible reputation, it's also incredibly stupid from a security perspective.

One of the few good takeaways about this read is maybe, just maybe they’ll have a shitty life constantly looking over their shoulder. As they should.
The music producer eventually sold the house and moved. Maybe they hoped that the next buyer would find these home features worth paying for?

Yeah I mean back in the day all the wealthy would make castles, so this is basically just, throwback to 500 years ago or something?
